Overview

Does the algorithm know us better than we do? How will we behave, when the access to information will become permanent and unlimited? The human is asking – Machine is replying is the test arrangement Boisseau & Westermeyer choose for their character ƒ: What happens when our access to information is optimized even more and become permanent and unlimited? Will ƒ’s personality still be recognizable? Will his self-view remain his own or become the view of an algorithm? Will his attempts incorporate the algorithm? The thoughts of the Free Man seem endlessness, but what happens if the uncertain disappears?
